Abstract

Project # 39.9.1. The idea behind the proof is fairly simple, though the proof is not. Suppose we are given set X to well-order. Choose an element of X. Call that al, the first element of X. Next, choose another element of X. Call that a2, the second element of X. Keep going until all elements of X have been ordered.
